"EasyLink Advisor is terrible!"
Version: Linksys EasyLink Advisor 3.11.9
Pros
Lots of useful infromation, and very accessible
Cons
Slowed my internet, didn't offer any tech support, slowed the connection for my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The minute I uninstalled the software, excellent connection.
Summary
not enough pros to outweigh the headaches...

"I liked the features but it creates problems."
Version: Linksys EasyLink Advisor 3.11.9
Pros
I liked the features of Easy Link Advisor 3.11.9.
Cons
Easy Link Advisor 3.11.9 is no longer endorsed by Linksys. It creates an error message stating that NETSH.EXE can not be found and needs to be reinstalled. I called Linksys Tec Support and they were unable to help. They suggested that I delite it.
Summary
Linksys I download Net Magic and sold me a computer repair service called Supportrix at $199.99 to repair the damage done by Easy Link Advisor.The tec rep at Supportrix was able to delete the Advisor and repair the damage.
The Easy Link Advisor was a very costly download. We did download Net Magiic. All looked great With Easy Link Advisor until you shut down your computer and rebooted.This happened several times I got the people at Supportrix involved and they were able to install Net Magic and get it working after I bought their support prograram. -

"Cybertrash! One of the worst products on the market."
Version: Linksys EasyLink Advisor 3.11.9
Pros
It is free.
Cons
It does not work. It freezes. No messages, just hangs up.
Summary
Cisco should be ashamed to put their name on this piece of junk. Looks like this is Cisco's way of getting a few extra bucks from their customers by selling them Net Magic, which is far superior.
